Huawei resumes production of consumer devices and carrier equipment despite Coronavirus outbreak

The recent outbreak of Coronavirus is expected to affect the global smartphone shipment and manufacturing in 2020 but some of the Chinese firms including Huawei has planned to keep their production on track.

Huawei had resumed production of products including consumer devices and carrier equipment, and operations are running normally, says the company spokesman (via Reuters).

The Chinese tech giant restarted manufacturing in line with a special exemption to allow certain critical industries to remain in operation.

On the other hand, the Chinese government has suggested companies to halt the ongoing work in some cities and provinces.

However, the spokesman said most of the Huawei’s production is based on Dongguan city, which is a long distance from Wuhan, the most affected area from Coronavirus.
